This theatrical biography by Laurence Holder presents Zora to us in all her strength and complexities, with her unwavering commitment to herself and her ideas and beliefs about art, politics, men and women, academia, science, Negros and whites. Everyone from Franz Boas to Richard Wright, with her husband Herbert thrown in the mix, wanted Hurston to be someone else, act another way, profess a different philosophy. Hurston was not having it. We know this from her writing and her life, and this play brings that home. Zora Neale Hurston was queen of the Harlem Renaissance at a time when the world did not want powerful queens, only kings. – Excerpt from a review by Constance Rodgers, TheFrontRowCenter.com
